Arrival and departure requirements and procedures

Standard. A valid passport shall be the basic document providing public authorities with information relating to the individual passenger on arrival or departure of a ship.

Recommended Practice. Contracting Governments should as far as possible agree, by bilateral or multilateral agreements, to accept official documents of identity in lieu of passports.

Standard. Public authorities shall make arrangements whereby passports, or official documents of identity accepted in their place, from ship's passengers need be inspected by the immigration authorities only once at the time of arrival and once at the time of departure. In addition, these passports or official documents of identity may be required to be produced for the purpose of verification or identification in connection with customs and other formalities on arrival and departure.

Standard. After individual presentation of passports or official documents of identity accepted in their place, public authorities shall hand back such documents immediately after examination rather than withholding them for the purpose of obtaining additional control, unless there is some obstacle to the admission of a passenger to the territory.

Standard. Each Contracting Government shall ensure that the public authorities seize fraudulent, falsified or counterfeit travel documents of inadmissible persons. Such documents shall be removed from circulation and returned to the appropriate authorities when practicable. In place of a seized document, a covering letter shall be issued by the removing State and attached to it will be a photocopy of the forged travel documents, if available, as well as any important information. The covering letter and its attachment shall be handed over to the operator responsible for the removal of the inadmissible person. It will serve to give information to the authorities at the transit and/or the original point of embarkation.

Standard. Contracting Governments shall accept for examination a person being returned from his/her point of disembarkation after having been found inadmissible if this person had embarked in their territory. Contracting Governments shall not return such a person to the country where he or she was earlier found to be inadmissible.

of the public authorities, the public authorities should be responsible for their custody and care until they are admitted for entry or are found to be inadmissible.

Standard. The obligation of a shipowner to transport any person away from the territory of a State shall terminate from the moment such a person has been definitely admitted into that State.

Standard. Where a person is found to be inadmissible, the public authorities shall, without unreasonable delay, inform the shipowner and consult the shipowner regarding the arrangements for removal. The shipowner is responsible for the costs of stay and removal of an inadmissible person and, in the case where the person is transferred back to the custody of the shipowner, the shipowner shall be responsible for effecting his/her prompt removal to:

the country of embarkation; or

to any other place where the person is admissible.

Standard. Contracting Governments and shipowners shall cooperate, where practicable, to establish the validity and authenticity of passports and visas.

Recommended Practice. Public authorities should not require from embarking or disembarking passengers, or from shipowners on their behalf, any information in writing supplementary to or repeating that already presented in their passports or official documents of identity, other than as necessary to complete any documents provided for in this annex.

Recommended Practice. Public authorities which require written supplementary information, other than as necessary to complete any documents provided for in this annex, from embarking or disembarking passengers should limit requirements for further identification of passengers to the items set forth in Recommended Practice 3.6 (embarkation/disembarkation card). Public authorities should accept the embarkation/disembarkation card when completed by the passenger and should not require that it be completed or checked by the shipowner. Legible handwritten script should be accepted on the card, except where the form specifies block lettering. One copy only of the embarkation/disembarkation card, which may include one or more simultaneously prepared carbon copies, should be required from each passenger.

and conveyance arrangements (including the use of mechanized systems) and to points where passenger delays are frequently found to occur. Arrangements should be made, when necessary, for passage under shelter between the ship and the point where the passenger and crew check is to be made. Such arrangements and installations should be flexible and capable of expansion to meet increased security measures during higher security levels.

Recommended Practice. Public authorities should:

in cooperation with shipowners and port authorities, introduce suitable arrangements, such as:

an individual and continuous method of processing passengers and baggage;

a system which would permit passengers readily to identify and obtain their checked baggage as soon as it is placed in an area where it may be claimed; and

ensuring that facilities and services are available to meet the needs of elderly and disabled passengers;

ensure that port authorities take all necessary measures so that:

easy and speedy access for passengers and their baggage, to and from local transport, is provided; and

if crews are required to report to premises for governmental purposes, those premises should be readily accessible, and as close to one another as practicable.

Recommended Practice. Public authorities should consider, as a means of ensuring prompt clearance, the introduction of the dual-channel system for the clearance of passengers, and their baggage and private road vehicles.

Standard. Public authorities shall require that shipowners ensure that ship's personnel take all appropriate measures which will help expedite arrival procedures for passengers and crew. These measures may include:

furnishing public authorities concerned with an advance message giving the best estimated time of arrival, followed by information as to any change in time, and stating the itinerary of the voyage where this may affect inspection requirements;

having ship's documents ready for prompt review;

providing for prompt, orderly assembling and presentation of persons on board, with necessary documents, for inspection, with attention to arrangements for relieving crew members for this purpose from essential duties in engine-rooms and elsewhere.

Recommended Practice. The practice of entering names on passenger and crew documents should be to put the family name or names first. Where both paternal and maternal family names are used, the paternal family name should be placed first. Where for married women both the husband's and wife's paternal family names are used, the husband's paternal family name should be placed first.

Standard. Public authorities shall, without unreasonable delay, accept persons present on board a ship for examination as to their admissibility into the State.

EXPLANATORY NOTES

1. As appearing on the ship’s International Ship Security Certifi cate or the ship’s Interim International Ship Security Certifi cate.

2. If a copy of the ship’s current Continuous Synopsis Record (CSR) is submitted there is no need to complete this entry.

3. If available.

4. Refer to paragraph 27 of the Guidance relating to the implementation of SOLAS chapter XI-2 and of the ISPS Code (MSC/Circ.1132).

5. Ship/port interface means the interactions that occur when a ship is directly and immediately aff ected by actions involving the movement of persons, goods or the provisions of port services to or from the ship (SOLAS regulation XI-2/1.1.8).

6. Provide the date.

7. Ship-to-ship activity means any activity not related to a port facility that involves the transfer of goods or persons from one ship to another (SOLAS regulation XI-2/1.1.10).

Information would not normally be required to include records of transfers of pilots or of customs, immigration or security offi cials nor bunkering, lighting, loading of supplies and unloading of waste by ship within port facilities as these would normally fall within the auspices of the Port Facility Security Plan (PFSP) (paragraph B/4.38 of the ISPS Code).

Ascertaining whether these activities fall within the PFSP should form part of the dialogue between the Ship Security Offi cer and the Port Facility Security Offi cer. It should be remembered that the physical boundaries of port facilities may not always coincide with the boundaries of the port or harbour authority.

RESOLUTION OF STOWAWAY CASES

THE FACILITATION COMMITTEE,

HAVING CONSIDERED the general purposes of the Convention on Facilitation of International Maritime Traffi c, 1965, as amended (FAL Convention), and in particular article III thereof,

RECALLING the provisions of resolution A.1027(26) on Application and revision of the Guidelines on the allocation of responsibilities to seek the successful resolution of stowaway cases (resolution A.871(20)),

RECALLING ALSO that the International Convention Relating to Stowaways, which attempted to establish an internationally acceptable regime for dealing with stowaways, has not yet come into force,

RECALLING FURTHER that it adopted, in accordance with article VII(2)(a) of the FAL Convention, at its twenty-ninth session, on 10 January 2002, amendments to the Convention on Facilitation of International Maritime Traffi c, 1965, as amended (resolution FAL.7(29)), which introduced a new section 4 on Stowaways in the annex to the FAL Convention, prescribing Standards and Recommended Practices on matters relating to stowaways (the FAL provisions on stowaways), which entered into force on 1 May 2003,

RECALLING IN ADDITION that, for the purposes of this resolution, a stowaway is defi ned as a person who is secreted on a ship or in cargo which is subsequently loaded on the ship, without the consent of the shipowner or the master or any other responsible person, and who is detected on board the ship after it has departed from a port, or in the cargo while unloading it in the port of arrival, and is reported as a stowaway by the master to the appropriate authorities,

153

L.R.O. 1998

NOTING with concern the number of incidents involving stowaways, the consequent potential for disruption of maritime traffi c, the impact such incidents may have on the safe operation of ships and the considerable risks faced by stowaways, including loss of life,

NOTING ALSO that several Member States which are also Contracting Governments to the FAL Convention:

(a) have notifi ed the Secretary-General, in accordance with article VIII(1) of the FAL Convention (in relation to the Standards specifi ed in section 4 of the annex to the FAL Convention) either that they fi nd it impracticable to comply with the

above-mentioned Standards or of differences between their own practices and those Standards; or

(b) have not yet notifi ed the Secretary-General, in accordance with article VIII(3) of the FAL Convention, that they have brought their formalities, documentary

requirements and procedures into accord in so far as practicable with the Recommended Practices specifi ed in section 4 of the annex to the FAL Convention,

RECALLING that resolution A.1027(26) expressed conviction of the need to align, to the extent possible and desirable, the Guidelines with the FAL provisions on stowaways and to revise them in a manner that refl ects developments in efforts undertaken to prevent stowaways, as well as to provide guidance and recommendations, taking into account the FAL provisions on stowaways, on measures which can be implemented by vessels to prevent cases involving stowaways,

TAKING INTO ACCOUNT that some stowaways may be asylum seekers and refugees, which should entitle them to such relevant procedures as those provided by international instruments and national legislation,

BEING AWARE that considerable diffi culties continue to be encountered by masters and shipping companies, shipowners and ship operators when stowaways are to be disembarked from ships into the care of the appropriate authorities,

AGREEING that the existence of such guidance should in no way be regarded as condoning or encouraging the practice of stowing away and other illegal migration, and should not undermine efforts to combat the separate problems of alien smuggling or human traffi cking,

Fourth Schedule - (Cont'd)

(i) have notifi ed the Secretary-General, in accordance with article VIII(1) of the FAL Convention (in relation to the Standards specifi ed in section 4 of the annex to the FAL Convention) either that they fi nd it impracticable to

comply with the aforementioned Standards or of differences between their own practices and those Standards; or

(ii) have not yet notifi ed the Secretary-General, in accordance with article VIII(3) of the FAL Convention, that they have brought their formalities,

documentary requirements and procedures into accord in so far as practicable with the Recommended Practices specifi ed in section 4 of the annex to the FAL Convention,

BELIEVING that, at present, stowaway cases can best be resolved through close cooperation among all authorities and persons concerned,

BELIEVING ALSO that, in normal circumstances, through such cooperation, stowaways should, as soon as practicable, be removed from the ship concerned and returned to the country of nationality/citizenship or to the port of embarkation, or to any other country which would accept them, RECOGNIZING that stowaway incidents should be dealt with humanely by all Parties involved, giving due consideration to the operational safety of the ship and its crew,

WHILST URGING national authorities, port authorities, shipowners and masters to take all reasonable precautions to prevent stowaways gaining access to vessels,

L.R.O. 1998

REVISED GUIDELINES ON THE PREVENTION OF ACCESS BY STOWAWAYS AND THE ALLOCATION OF RESPONSIBILITIES TO SEEK THE SUCCESSFUL

RESOLUTION OF STOWAWAY CASES

1 Introduction

1.1 Masters, shipowners, public authorities, port authorities and other stakeholders, including those providing security services ashore, have a responsibility to cooperate to the fullest extent possible in order:

.1 to prevent stowaway incidents; and

.2 to resolve stowaway cases expeditiously and secure that an early return or repatriation of the stowaway will take place; all appropriate measures should be taken in order to avoid situations where stowaways must stay on board ships for an unreasonable amount of time.

1.2 However, no matter how effective port and ship security measures are, it is recognized that there will still be occasions when stowaways gain access to vessels, either secreted in the cargo or by surreptitious boarding.

1.3 The resolution of stowaway cases is diffi cult because of different national legislation in each of the several potentially involved States: the State of embarkation, the State of disembarkation, the fl ag State of the ship, the State of apparent, claimed or actual nationality/ citizenship or right of residence of the stowaway, and States of transit during repatriation.

2 Defi nitions

For the purpose of these Guidelines, the following meanings shall be attributed to the terms listed:

.1 Attempted stowaway. A person who is secreted on a ship, or in cargo which is subsequently loaded on the ship, without the consent of the shipowner or the master or any other responsible person, and who is detected on board the ship before it has departed from the port.

.2 Port. Any port, terminal, offshore terminal, ship and repair yard or roadstead which is normally used for the loading, unloading, repair and anchoring of ships, or any other place at which a ship can call.

Fourth Schedule - (Cont'd)

157

L.R.O. 1998

.3 Public authorities. The agencies or offi cials in a State responsible for the application and enforcement of the laws and regulations of that State which relate to any aspect of the present Guidelines.

.4 Security measures. Measures developed and implemented in accordance with international agreements to improve security on board ships and in port areas and facilities, and of goods moving in the international supply chain, to detect and prevent punlawful acts.1

.5 Shipowner. One who owns or operates a ship, whether a person, a corporation or other legal entity, and any person acting on behalf of the owner or operator.

.6 Stowaway. A person who is secreted on a ship, or in cargo which is subsequently loaded on the ship, without the consent of the shipowner or the master or any other responsible person and who is detected on board the ship

after it has departed from a port, or in the cargo while unloading it in the port of arrival, and is reported as a stowaway by the master to the appropriate authorities.

3 Basic principles

On the basis of the experience thus far, the application of the following basic principles have been useful in preventing stowaway incidents and have been helpful in the speedy resolution of stowaway cases:

.1 Stowaway incidents should be dealt with in a manner consistent with humanitarian principles. Due consideration must always be given to the operational safety of the ship and to the safety and well-being of the stowaway.

.2 Public authorities, port authorities, shipowners and masters should cooperate to the fullest extent possible in order to prevent stowaway incidents.

_________ 1 Reference is made to chapter XI-2 of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, as amended

(1974 SOLAS Convention) and the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code, as amended (ISPS Code); and to the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Maritime Navigation, 1988 (1988 SUA Convention) and its 2005 Protocol (2005 SUA Protocol).

Fourth Schedule - (Cont'd)

158

L.R.O. 1998

.3 Shipowners, masters, port authorities and public authorities should have adequate security arrangements in place which, as far as practicable, will prevent intending stowaways from getting aboard a ship or, if this fails, will detect them before

the ship leaves port or, at the latest, before it arrives at the next port of call.

.4 Adequate, frequent and well-timed searches minimize the risk of having to deal with a stowaway case and may also save the life of a stowaway who may, for example, be hiding in a place which is subsequently sealed and/or chemically treated.

.5 Public authorities, port authorities, shipowners and masters should cooperate to the fullest extent possible in order to resolve stowaway cases expeditiously and secure that an early return or repatriation of the stowaway will take place. All appropriate measures should be taken in order to avoid situations where stowaways must stay on board ships for an unreasonable amount of time.

.6 Stowaways arriving at or entering a State without the required documents are, in general, illegal entrants. Decisions on dealing with such situations are the prerogative of the States where such arrival or entry occurs.

.7 Stowaway asylum seekers should be treated in accordance with international protection principles as set out in international instruments, such as the provisions of the United Nations Convention relating to the Status of Refugees of 28 July 1951 and of the United Nations Protocol relating to the

Status of Refugees of 31 January 1967 and relevant national legislation.2

.8 Every effort should be made to avoid situations where a stowaway has to be detained on board a ship indefi nitely. In this regard States should cooperate with the shipowner in arranging the disembarkation of a stowaway to an appropriate State.

.9 States should accept the return of stowaways who have full nationality/ citizenship status in that State, or have a right of residence in that State.

.10 Where the nationality or citizenship or right of residence cannot be established, the State of the original port of embarkation of a stowaway should accept the return of such a stowaway for examination pending fi nal case disposition.

_________ 2 In addition, public authorities may wish to consider the non-binding conclusion of the UNHCR Executive Committee on Stowaway Asylum Seekers (1988, No. 53 (XXXIX)).

L.R.O. 1998

4 Preventive measures

4.1 Port/terminal authorities

4.1.1 States and port and terminal owners, operators and authorities should ensure that the necessary infrastructure, and operational and security arrangements for the purpose of preventing persons attempting to stowaway on board ships from gaining access to port installations and to ships, are established in all their ports, taking into consideration when developing these arrangements the size of the port, and what type of cargo is shipped from the port. This should be done in close cooperation with relevant public authorities, shipowners and shore-side entities, with the aim of preventing stowaway occurrences in the individual port.

4.1.2 Operational arrangements and/or port facility security plans should at least be equivalent to those contained in the relevant text of section B/16 of the ISPS Code.3

4.2 Shipowner/Master

4.2.1 Shipowners and masters should ensure that adequate security arrangements are in place which, as far as practicable, will prevent intending stowaways from getting aboard the ship, and, if this fails, as far as practicable, will detect them before the ship leaves port or, at the latest, before it arrives at the next port of call.

4.2.2 When calling at ports and during stay in ports, where there is risk of stowaway embarkation, operational arrangements and/or ship security plans should at least be equivalent to those contained in the relevant text of paragraph B/9 of the ISPS Code.4

4.2.3 When departing from a port, where there is risk of stowaway embarkation, a ship should undergo a thorough search in accordance with a specifi c plan or schedule, and with priorities given to places where stowaways might hide taking into account the specifi c ship type and its operations. Search methods which are likely to harm secreted stowaways should not be used.

4.2.4 Fumigation or sealing should not be carried out until a thorough search of the areas to be fumigated or sealed has taken place in order to ensure that no stowaways are present in those areas.

.2 to take practical steps to establish the identity, including the nationality/ citizenship and the right of residence, of the stowaway;

.3 to prepare a statement containing all available information relevant to the stowaway for presentation to the appropriate authorities (for example, the public authorities at the port of embarkation, the fl ag State and, if necessary, subsequent ports of call) and the shipowner; in this respect the reporting form provided in the appendix should be used and completed as far as practicable;

.4 to notify the existence of a stowaway and any relevant details to the shipowner and appropriate authorities at the port of embarkation, the next port of call and the fl ag State, with the understanding that when a stowaway declares himself or herself to be a refugee, this information should be treated as confi dential to the extent necessary for the security of the stowaway; to ensure confi dentiality in these cases no information should be forwarded to authorities public or private in the country of origin or residence of the stowaway;

.5 not to depart from the planned voyage to seek the disembarkation of a stowaway discovered on board the ship after it has left the territorial waters of the State where the stowaways embarked, unless permission to disembark the

stowaway has been granted by the public authorities of the State to whose port the ship deviates, or repatriation has been arranged elsewhere with suffi cient

documentation and permission given for disembarkation, or unless there are extenuating safety, security, health or compassionate reasons, or attempts to disembark in other ports on the planned voyage have failed and deviation is necessary in order to avoid that the stowaway remain on board for a signifi cant period of time;

.6 to ensure that the stowaway is presented to the appropriate authorities at the next port of call in accordance with their requirements;

Fourth Schedule - (Cont'd)

161

It is the responsibility of the State of fi rst port of call according to the voyage plan after the discovery of the stowaway:

.1 to accept the stowaway for examination in accordance with the national laws of that State and, where the competent national authority considers that it would facilitate matters, to allow the shipowner and the competent or appointed P&I Club correspondent to have access to the stowaway;

Fourth Schedule - (Cont'd)

162

L.R.O. 1998

.2 to favourably consider allowing disembarkation and provide, as necessary and in accordance with national law, secure accommodation which may be at the expense of the shipowner, where:

.1 a case is unresolved at the time of sailing of the ship; or

.2 the stowaway is in possession of valid documents for return and the public authorities are satisfi ed that timely arrangements have been or will be made for repatriation and all the requisites for transit fulfi lled; or

.3 other factors make it impractical for the stowaway to remain on the ship; such factors may include but are not limited to cases where a stowaway's presence on board would endanger the safe and secure operation of the ship, the health of the crew or the stowaway;

.3 to make every effort to cooperate in the identifi cation of the stowaway and the establishment of his or her nationality/citizenship or right of residence;

.4 to make every effort to cooperate in establishing the validity and authenticity of a stowaway's documents and, when a stowaway has inadequate documents, to whenever practicable and to an extent compatible with national legislation and security requirements issue a covering letter with a photograph of the

stowaway and any other important information, or alternatively, a suitable travel document accepted by the public authorities involved; the covering letter authorizing the return of the stowaway either to his or her State of origin or to the point where the stowaway commenced his or her journey, as appropriate, by any means of transportation and specifying any other conditions imposed by the authorities, should be handed over to the operator effecting the removal of the stowaway; this letter will include information required

by the authorities at transit points and/or the point of disembarkation;

.5 to give directions for the removal of the stowaway to the port of embarkation, State of nationality/citizenship or right of residence or to some other State to which lawful directions may be made, in cooperation with the shipowner;

.6 to inform the shipowner on whose ship the stowaway was found, as far as practicable, of the level of cost of detention and return and any additional
